Discover the Heart of Entrepreneurship
Raise Up Mindset is an inspiring podcast hosted by Athena and Charlie Grimm, sharing their entrepreneurial journey in Anchorage, Alaska. They delve into the challenges and successes of building a business while fostering community connections and personal growth in a unique setting.
We empower aspiring entrepreneurs to succeed and thrive in their endeavors.

We understand the burning desire for freedom and the frustration of feeling lost on how to achieve it
Just a few years ago, we were in your shoes.
We dreamed of building something from scratch, escaping the monotony of 9-to-5 jobs. Fear of the unknown held us back – the ‘what ifs’ that paralyzed us.
We searched for a roadmap to entrepreneurial success, but finding none, we created our own: a framework blending practical strategies with essential mindset shifts.
Our Journey of Building and Growing Together
The RAISE UP Podcast emerged from Athena and Charlie’s desire to share their entrepreneurial journey, highlighting the importance of resilience and community in Anchorage’s vibrant business landscape.
Founded by the Grimm duo, the RAISE UP Podcast rAfter years of refinement, we’ve seen incredible results, leading us to share this with others. Today, we run BAC Transportation in Alaska and are passionate about helping aspiring entrepreneurs turn their visions into reality. Witnessing their transformation, seeing fear replaced with excitement as their businesses thrive, is the ultimate reward.
